Addiction recovery is a long-term process that continues after treatment is over. After care is any ongoing care you receive after you leave Northway Wellness Centre.
Developing an after care plan helps you to anticipate future challenges to your wellbeing and develop solutions in advance. The care team at Northway will support you in developing your after care plan, which may include:
- After care planning to ensure a smooth transition back into daily life
- Outpatient counselling and therapy sessions to address underlying issues and develop coping strategies
- Support groups and 12-step programs for ongoing peer support and accountability
- Medication-assisted treatment follow-up in the community, such as Rapid Access Addictions Medicine clinic (RAAM)
- Assistance with choosing and applying for a residential treatment program for those needing an intensive approach
- Advise on holistic approaches such as yoga to promote overall well-being
- Education and relapse prevention strategies to help individuals avoid triggers and maintain sobriety
